Does anyone have any chart or data on how deep a 10" and 12" Headlock run on various lengths of line? I know they've got a couple settings on the lip, so there are options for depths. Just wondering how to get set up for this fall.

Thanks in advance.

Use a 3 to 1 ratio at three mph to determine depth. Example is 30 feet of line out gets 10 feet down at 3mph, 45 feet of line gets 15 feet down at 3mph. All of this is in the front hole.

Add 4 feet for each line tie hole you go back. I like the front hole for 15 feet and under.

Max depth is 24 feet on the back hole.

There are lots of variables with headlocks. But a 3:1 ratio is a great start.
